#ceramic neti pot

[butch-himbo-king]

hello, here's some unsolicited advice for your sinus infection, pls disregard if you dont want that.

theres 3 things i think might be helpful to you and you might already be doing some of them.

1. neti pot or saline wash. depending on how clogged ur nostrils are, it might be difficult to use a neti pot, but if you persevere doing it daily, i think it can bring some relief. ceramic neti pots are more expensive but i think theyre safer than plastic. you can google how to do this, just make sure to use clean/boiled water. also when ure done, blow ur nose gently and without closing either nostril.

2. nasya, this means putting oil blend up ur nose in the morning. if you google, you can find a lot of premade oils, but i find it safer and cheaper to make ur own. i use coconut oil with 2% essential oil (i use tea tree and eucalyptus globulos) but if you choose to do this, you can just do the euc so you dont have to buy 2. google "nasya ayurveda" for more info

3. steam inhalation, this is the one you might already be doing like when u turn on the shower rly hot and breathe in the steam. i also like boiling water in an pan adding essential oil (again eucalyptus globulos reccommended) off the heat and breathing in with a towel over my head and the pan to trap the steam (this is physically uncomfortable but worth it for the relief)

source: ive had so so many sinus infections both as a child and adult and my mom is into aromatherapy so ive learned a bit from her and also google

Safety note 1: pls still take your antibiotics when you are able to get them!!! these suggestions are more for relief than getting rid of the root of the inflammation so u still need the anti-bios

Safety note 2: if you do this, pls be sure to dilute your essential oils carefully. they are incredibly concentrated substances that can actually do harm undiluted. all the suggestions i made here have been practiced in traditional medicine (specifically ayurveda) for thousands of years and are safe!! but only as long as you follow the directions

im very sorry if this comes off preachy or like im telling you what to do or like those essential oil moms, but these three things have helped me tremendously and i thought they just might help you too. once again, feel free to disregard and tell me to go fuck myself if thats your truth. im also happy to answer any questions if u have them!

i like ur blog and hope u and ur partner continue to do well and be happy!

thank you fr for sending this it’s so sweet and really genuinely appreciated!!!

i have tried the netipot but both of my nostrils are too swollen for the water to even drip into my throat let alone go all the way through to the other nostril. it literally just sits in whichever one i pour it into for a second and then falls straight back out once it overflows lmfao

and i have been doing a lot of steam inhalation with simmer pots and any time i make soup or tea

one thing i haven’t tried though is the oils. i know if i make a trip to my moms house she’ll have everything i need bc she’s also a very herbal remedy type of woman and she has her big wooden storage box of every oil imaginable.

thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to send me a little bit of help this is really and truly appreciated i hope you have an amazing day 🫶🫶🫶

Jala Neti Yogic Cleansing | Mahi Yoga School

The Yogic Context:

Let’s begin by looking at one of the most important yogic texts; The Hatha Yoga Pradeepika. The text describes six yogic purification practices; the Shatkarmas. These purification practices have been used by yogis throughout time, in order to cleanse the physical body and prepare the mind for yoga’s deeper practices. The techniques lead to a purified body by removing toxins, leaving it strong and disease-free. This then allows for the prana or life force to flow freely through the body’s energy channels regenerating the body’s organs, and energetical field and allowing for access to deeper concentration and ultimately access to the higher consciousness through other yogic practices such as meditation. Neti is the first step of these six purification techniques.

What Are The Six Shatkarmas?

Dhauti, Basti, Neti, Trataka, Nauli and Kapalbhati.

A Closer Look At Jala Neti:

Neti, or Jala neti- a Sanskrit word, jala, means “water” and neti means to “guide”.

The nasal cleansing technique has its origin in ancient India and has been practicing throughout time in both yoga and its sister science- Ayurveda.

Neti is used to cleanse the sinuses, and the air passages in the head. It has been practiced using the Neti-pot, a small teapot-like instrument with a small thin spout that channels the water through the nose.

Nasal hygiene along with other internal cleansing practices consider as important as brushing your teeth in Yoga and Ayurveda. Our sinus cavities can become clogged and blocked with impurities, which can cause a variety of problems further on.

By practicing nasal hygiene using the Neti pot you can avoid many conditions such as infections, congestion, migraine, headaches, allergies, and asthma.

Neti is designed as a very simple, straightforward practice that can be incorporated into your daily routine, along with things such as brushing your hair and teeth. Taking just a few minutes, Neti is designed to be carried out in the morning on a regular basis.

The Neti pot (a small teapot-like apparatus, as mentioned before) channels water through one nostril which flows out through the other nostril carrying with it any trapped allergens or germs and relieving the symptoms of congestion etc. as it exits the body.

While this technique may be unknown to many it has been used in India for hundreds of years.

It is an incredibly easy, quick and harmless practice that can give remarkable benefits. A bonus is that you don’t need to invest in any special expensive equipment or even leave the comfort of your home to practice Neti. All you need is a simple pot.

The Benefits Of Jala Neti:

Neti helps to maintain nasal hygiene by removing the dirt and bacteria trapped along with the mucus in the nostrils.

removes dirt and bacteria trapped with the mucus in nostrils.

It desensitizes sensitive tissues inside the nose which can cause rhinitis, asthma, or allergy.

Can help alleviate health problems such as sinusitis, migraine, headaches, ear problems, and middle ear infections.

Jala Neti can help with upper respiratory complaints, sore throats, tonsils, and dry coughs.

It can clear the eye ducts and improve vision.

Jala Neti also calms the mind and nervous system which helps in relieving stress and giving clarity to the mind.

It helps can aid with asthmatic conditions and improve breathing quality.

Can help with middle ear infections.

Clearing the nasal passageways helps improve digestion and sense of smell.

It deepens the quality of meditation

How To Practice Jala Neti:

mix 1 tablespoon of salt to one liter of warm water. the water should be slightly warm so that it does not irritate the tissues inside the nostrils.

Pour saltwater into the Neti Pot can be made of copper, steel, ceramic, plastic or other materials.

Place the spout of the pot into one nostril.

Tilt your head gently keeping the spout on the upper side. Open your mouth (Breathing should be done through the mouth during the process). Water will begin to pour out of the empty nostril, you can adjust the tilt of the head until this happens. Continue till the water in the pot is complete.

Fill the pot again with salt water and do the same on the other nostril.

You can repeat this process any number of times. Depending on the need.

Note- Jal Neti should be practising only under the guidance of an expert practitioner.

At Mahi Yoga School we instruct Jala Neti as part of the Shatkarmas. Carefully explaining the significance of Jal Neti Kriya, we guide our students in the special practice of shatkarmas or yoga kriyas.

We also guide our students through the process of ‘sutra neti’ where a thick strong thread is inserted into the nose and pulled out from the mouth, to aid the cleansing process of the passages. We also instruct the other 4 cleansing kriyas for a complete detox effect in the true yogic tradition.

If you are wishing for a blissful detoxification experience that will help you along the way to a healthier happier life.

A deeper and more effective meditation.

IS RINSING YOUR SINUSES WITH NETI POTS SAFE? - MYA CARE

There are numerous home remedies for common cold and you probably have tried a couple of them that work for you. One such remedy is using neti pots that people resort to when they have a stuffy nose to rinse out their sinuses.

A neti pot is a small utensil with a long spout that resembles a small teapot. It comes in either plastic or ceramic forms. It is designed to wash out your nose by flushing solution through your sinuses. Neti pots are very easy to use as they involve a straightforward process you can do from the comfort of your home without medical help. However, it is more than just running liquid through your nose.

As much as several ear, nose, and throat surgeons have recommended its use for nasal irrigation, the FDA still warns that if not properly used, using neti pots can be dangerous and put you at a higher risk of infections. So is it safe to use this device to rinse sinuses? This article details this process and how you can do it the right way.

No one can build you the bridge on which you, and only you, must cross the river of life

Installation for Der Würfel by Shana Moulton. It brings together a varied selection of symbolic objects and a single video.

Central to the installation is a form of a uterus created from a ‘sock aid’ upon which the video is projected, and two ceramic hands which hold it in suspension. The sock aid can also be seen as a bridge, under which a Neti Pot sits on a streak of blue paper, cut to represent a curve in a river.

The video itself includes elements from an educational film from 1965 about the process of a Kangaroo gestation – something that stirred Moulton as a child and had a lasting effect on her memory.

[labelleizzy]

I was feeling a little touch starved today.

Fortunately my mental health is good right now and I was able to employ some of my previously developed strategies to look after myself.

I turned 18 my first year in university and got my first boyfriend as well. That is actually how I discovered that I had been touch starved basically my whole life. All the hugs and cuddles I could want during my first term at school, and then went home for the winter break and actually noticed how different I felt. How my family didn't touch, didn't hug.

That year I wrote in my journal in very large letters, "you must touch yourself the way that you need, if there's nobody else to do it."

Here's what happened for me today:

I laid out cute clothes to go out to dinner later with my friends. That was already on plan

I collected all of my toiletries for a nice scrubby shower.

I have trader Joe's lavender salt scrub. I have a loofah to scrub my own back. I have a ceramic file to scrub my feet. And I bathe using a nice terry cloth washcloth, which feels good, and holds on to the soap a lot better than the plastic mesh scrubbies do.

Because I am trying to get a massive allergy attack under control, (it's been over a week which sucks) I had my neti pot in the shower. After washing my hair, I washed the inside of my sinuses. I know that might be gross for some people but it is a helpful thing for me and it feels like self-care now.

Progressed to using the salt scrub. I polished up my tattoos first. That's one of the things I enjoy, in the being deliberate department of working on the touch starvation. I polish up my art choices.

Then I use the salt scrub on my hands, forearms, and my face. Usually hands arms face neck and chest is enough to stave off the touch starvation, and to feel like I'm caring from myself.

After the salt scrub I wet the washcloth and put some soap on it to take off the top layer of the oil that goes with the salt scrub, because nobody wants to leave oil stains on their own furniture or clothes. I also make a point of wiping down the floor of the shower when I'm done, because again nobody needs to slip and fall in the shower and you need to make sure that oil is cleared off.

Last stage is to scrub my feet with my ceramic foot scrubber that I got from bath & Body works a million years ago.

When I'm done under the hot water I finish up, step out, and towel myself off gently. The gently is key.

Today there was a final step, because I had been scratching at my underboob area, where apparently I've got another little bit of a fungus infection. So I treated all of my tend to be moist and damp areas with a bit of antifungal.

This is the only body I'll ever have, and if I don't take care of it, nobody else will.

7 Ways to Clear Up Sinus Congestion

You can go weeks without food and days without water. But you won’t last even a few minutes without breathing. Even so, we tend to forget how important air is. Winter respiratory infections, sinus problems, allergies, pollution, asthma, and even stress and tension can make it hard to breathe easy. If your breathing is anything less than deep and full, try these seven tips to breathe better now.

1. Hydrate and humidify.

Cold air and indoor heating can dry out delicate respiratory tissues, xacerbating respiratory illness and asthma, and increasing the risk of sinus or upper respiratory tract infections. In winter months, or if you live in a dry climate, use a humidifier—the warm, moist air helps clear excess mucus from the lungs and sinuses and lessens irritation of the respiratory tract. Steam vaporizers are inexpensive and easy to maintain, and can be used with essential oils. Just add a few drops of eucalyptus, peppermint, pine, or spruce essential oil to the medicine cup on the mister, and infuse your bedroom or office with healing scents.

To prevent the growth of bacteria and mold, be sure to clean your humidifier properly—use equal parts of warm water and vinegar, and scrub off residue with a soft brush—and be careful not to overhumidify, which can lead to mold growth. Stay well-hydrated to keep the respiratory tract moist. If you’re sick of chugging water, try spiking it with juice, lemon or cucumber slices, or electrolyte-enhanced drink tablets or powders.

2. Flush with a nasal irrigation.

Nasal irrigation, a traditional Ayurvedic treatment, has been used for thousands of years to treat congestion and sinus problems by removing mucus and debris from the nasal cavities. You can find a variety of nasal irrigation devices at natural grocers or pharmacies. Try a neti pot, a small ceramic pot specially designed to irrigate sinuses, or a squeeze bottle. Fill either one with 1 pint of lukewarm distilled water mixed with 1 teaspoon of sea salt. Check the health department guidelines in your area; your tap water may contain low levels of bacteria and protozoa that can stay alive in the nasal passages and cause potentially serious infections in some individuals. During the day, keep nasal cavities clear with sprays designed to moisturize and soothe sinuses. Look for formulas made with xylitol, a sugar alcohol derived from fruits and vegetables that’s been shown to reduce the risk of sinus infections.

3. Use healing herbs.

A variety of herbs and supplements can ease congestion, combat allergies, fight respiratory infections, and help you breathe easier. Butterbur, a shrub that grows in Europe and North America, has been used for hundreds of years in traditional medicine to treat cough, asthma, and breathing difficulties, and it’s been shown in studies to ease allergic rhinitis and other respiratory issues. Look for tinctures and capsules standardized for petasin and isopetasin, and choose a formula certified and labeled “PA-free,” meaning it doesn’t contain liver-harming pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs).

Additionally, medicinal mushrooms, can help promote healthy respiratory and lung function. And eucalyptus contains myrtol and cineole, compounds that have been shown to treat sinusitis and bronchitis; look for it in combination formulas with other respiratory herbs such as grindelia, dong quai, skullcap, mullein, ginger, peppermint, and wild cherry bark. Or make your own breathe-easy beverage: combine fenugreek, hyssop, juniper, and licorice, and sip as a soothing tea.

4. Get moving.

Exercise may not sound appealing when you’re feeling like it’s hard to breathe, but moving your body can improve lung function and capacity, and clear congestion. Start small: take gentle walks or ride your bike. An elliptical trainer or step machine is a great way to exercise inside when cold weather may exacerbate your symptoms. Work your way up to more vigorous exercises, such as skiing, racquetball, jogging, or dancing. Aerobic exercise increases breathing rate and works the heart and lungs, improving their endurance and helping the body use oxygen more efficiently—which, in time, improves breathing. Running and other aerobic exercises also improve the tone of the diaphragm and intercostal muscles, which improves breathing. If you’re short of breath from a virus, wait until you’re well before exercising.

5. Eat to breathe.

A Mediterranean diet—rich in fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains, nuts, and seeds, with moderate amounts of dairy, fish, and poultry—has been shown to protect against allergic respiratory diseases, and diets rich in fruits and vegetables have been shown to reduce asthma symptoms.

Foods that boost respiratory health:

Omega-3 fatty acids in fish, walnuts, flax, and hemp are associated with improved lung function and decreased symptoms of asthma.

Apples, onions, citrus fruits, and tea are high in quercetin, an antioxidant that reduces inflammation and helps prevent sinus problems.

Tomatoes contain lycopene, an antioxidant that helps reduce asthma symptoms and improves pulmonary function.

Cayenne pepper, garlic, onion, ginger, and horseradish break up congestion, thin mucus, and clear excess mucus.

6. Take your vitamins.

A handful of common vitamins are critical in preventing respiratory infections, reducing the risk of allergies and asthma, and improving pulmonary function.

What vitamins are good for the respiratory system?

Vitamin E is important for immunity, and has been shown to reduce allergic airway inflammation and improve pulmonary function. In the Women’s Health Study of 38,597 women, the risk of developing chronic lung disease was reduced by 10 percent in women using vitamin E supplements.

Vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant, has been linked to asthma prevention; studies also show increased vitamin C can reduce wheezing, improve lung function, and protect against bronchitis and sinusitis.

Flavonoids, a group of antioxidants found in many fruits, vegetables, coffees, and teas, have anti-inflammatory properties and can reduce the prevalence and severity of asthma and allergies. Pycnogenol, a supplement that contains a mixture of flavonoids, can be especially effective, and has been shown to increase lung function and improve breathing.

Vitamin D protects against respiratory infections and sinusitis, and low levels of vitamin D have been shown to impair normal lung function and exacerbate symptoms of asthma.

7. Practice breathing exercises.

One of the easiest, fastest ways to breathe better is to … breathe better by retraining your body to breathe in a way that increases lung capacity and improves respiratory function. Try this simple exercise: lie down in a comfortable position, and place your hands on your upper and lower belly. Then breathe in slowly through your nose to the count of five, letting your belly rise and fully expand as you inhale. Slowly breathe out, letting your belly deflate and releasing all the air. Do this for at least 10 full rounds of inhaling and exhaling, gradually working your way up to 5 minutes, morning and night. While lying down is best, you can also practice this technique at your desk, or even standing in line at the grocery store. The idea is to make it a habit—so you’re breathing better all day long.

Our nose is governed by the earth element. When we are feeling weighed down, congested, or if we are experiencing allergies, this can be a sign that we need to balance out excess kapha. This may also look like heavy thoughts or lack of energy. A practices to balance, and maintain balance, is neti. Neti is a great practice for your morning or evening routine, especially if you are feeling weighed down, have a headache, or are suffering from allergies. Be mindful that if you tend to have dry sinuses, neti may not be the best practice for you. How to: 💧Using a ceramic neti pot, fill with warm water 💧Use water that you would normally drink 💧Add about 1/4 teaspoon of pure, non-iodized salt 💧Mix well 💧Put the tip of the neti pot onto one nostril, tilt head to side, allow water to pour through opposite nostril 💧Exhale deeply 💧Repeat on opposite side 💧Inhale + exhale through both nostrils, smile To learn more about ayurveda and self care, check out my online courses with @yogarenewteachertraining For my monthly yoga + ayurveda + essential oils on demand classes, check out @yourwellnessportal https://www.instagram.com/p/CfWmDbZux3x/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
